I can’t think of ANY cycling GPS that’ll do an “I’m off the course” re-route that’s functional. Part of the issue is the unit is now in charge of figuring out from the myriad of roads, which are going to be best for cycling, or if there’s a cycling path nearby, how to use it. I think that’s asking a bit from the current level of technology.
One potential method IF the unit has access to databases like RWGPS, Strava, Connect, etc... would be for the unit to relatively quickly scan those databases for other posted rides in that area and choose from those known good routes for that area.
Outside of that, the best choice is to use the return to start function, which will follow the current path/route to the start.
